Electric vehicles (EVs) represent the future of transportation, relying on advanced materials to ensure safety, efficiency, and durability. Plastic components are at the core of EV innovation, offering lightweight, high-strength, and versatile solutions. Incorporating nano platinum antimicrobial technology into these plastics further elevates their performance by enhancing hygiene, safety, and longevity.
This article explores seven critical plastic components in EVs and how nano platinum technology transforms them into high-performance solutions.
1. Battery Brackets: Modified PPO, PPS, and PC/ABS Plastics
Battery brackets ensure structural integrity and heat resistance for EV batteries. Plastics such as PPO and PPS are preferred due to their excellent mechanical strength and thermal stability.
Nano Platinum Advantage: By integrating nano platinum antimicrobial agents, these brackets resist microbial buildup and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability even in humid conditions.
Case Study: A leading EV manufacturer reported a 30% improvement in battery bracket durability when switching to nano platinum-enhanced PPO.
2. Battery Covers: Modified PA6 and PA66 Plastics
Battery covers require lightweight, flame-retardant materials to protect battery cells and electronics. Modified PA6 and PA66 provide excellent insulation and mechanical strength.
Supporting Data: Nano platinum-treated battery covers maintain over 99.9% antimicrobial effectiveness, ensuring hygiene during assembly and operation.
3. Battery Housings: Modified PPS, PPO, and PP-LGF35 Plastics
Battery housings need high impact resistance and chemical stability. Plastics like PPS and PP-LGF35 (long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene) meet these demands.
Field Test: Nano platinum-enhanced PPS housings showed superior resistance to microbial growth and environmental wear during a six-month trial.
4. DC Motor Frames: Modified PBT, PPS, and PA Plastics
DC motor frames demand heat resistance and dimensional stability to ensure efficient operation. Plastics like PBT and PPS are ideal for this application.
Nano Platinum Advantage: Nano platinum-treated motor frames reduce microbial contamination during manufacturing, improving overall product quality.
5. Connectors: Modified PBT and PA Plastics
Connectors ensure electrical connections are secure and reliable, requiring materials with high electrical insulation and strength. Modified PBT and PA meet these criteria.
Innovative Use Case: HiVR collaborated with an EV connector supplier to create antimicrobial connectors, leading to a 20% reduction in assembly line contamination issues.
6. Charging Guns and Plugs: Modified PBT, PA, and PC Plastics
Charging components must be flame-retardant and durable. Modified PBT, PA, and PC are widely used for their excellent thermal and mechanical properties.
Comparison: Nano platinum-treated charging components outperform traditional plastics by maintaining antimicrobial efficiency without altering physical properties.
7. Charging Pile Housings: Flame-Retardant PC Plastics
Charging pile housings must endure outdoor conditions, including UV exposure and temperature fluctuations. Flame-retardant PC plastics provide the necessary durability and safety.
Regulatory Compliance: Nano platinum-treated housings meet global safety standards, ensuring environmental compatibility and user safety.
